All that effort and money for an awesome drive train... only to put it into the equivelant of a Ford Crown Victoria.... the blandest, ugliest and most boringly uninspired sedan on the planet... ;)

And which is it?

302ci or 700ci? 1700hp from 700ci is not that impressive. :P

Yeah right... :roll:

1200+hp from 364ci is what you can get from a blown Chevy LS2 motor.. ;)

And again - what size is the engine? 5l or 11l?

[Erez]

[Skaala]

What do you mean if the "Japs" had that car. Didnt someone make 2100 hp on a 442. Why yes they did johnny, at 9000rpm on a big block no less. Not sure if this was posted here or on tremek so heres the link anyhow.
